DISCUSS CROPS, PASTURE: PROGRAM
After visiting two farms in the comprised Charles Kingsbury, of

provement Association, holding tural College, Guelph; Morley Lan -
their twilight field ...and hall meet- nin; Robert Card, Stratford, a
ing, congregated. at Mitchell Dis- commercial fertilizer representa-
trict High School for a panel five, and Norman McCully, a St.
discussion Wednesday evening. Marys area farmer.
Dr. Young pointed out that On-
tario is a livestock country, and
urged that farmers prepare a pas-
ture program so that they could
get the food -where they wanted it
and when they wanted it.
Mr. Card said that; pasture is a
market almost untouched 'by' fer-
tilizer and there is.,a tremendous
potential. there. Fertilizer, he said,
should be used after the first pas-
ture crop in order that a second
would grow.
Mr,. Kingsbury asked if a lot of
machinery for cutting the pasture
is necessary, to which Dr. Young
replied that in many ways it is a
case of keeping lip with the Jones -
es. But machines are useful if
there is the quantity.
Replying to Mr. Lannin, Dr.
Young said the second crop, avail-
able through using fertilizer, is
not quite as good as the first. and
would not produce so much milk
The .panel discussed various
types of machinery, and Dr. Young
answered several technical ques-
tions from the floor before the
meeting closed at 11:30 p.m.
First stop for the long convoy
of cars was the farm of Morley
Lannin, at lot 10, con. 2, Hibbert
Township, where members exam-,
ined forage crops and discussed
the pasture program with Mr.
Lannin.
Next they inspected the roti -row
grain variety tests with oats and
barley . being carried out at the
farm of . Rarvey and Keith Mc, -
Lagan, north of Mitchell.
At the high school the women
were`nntertained by Mrs. Marilyn
Ritchie, home economist for Perth
County, and watched an interest-
ing demonstration of flower ar-
ranging. 41I Club members also
met separately.

Id Fair Grours
1. By FOSTER T. FOWLER
While driving into Seaforth the
other day from the west! 2 glanced
at the row of beautiful modern
houses and school situated on the
old Fair Grounds. May I recall
an incident that occurred on the
old track there about 80 years
ago?
Dr. Coleman was the highly re-
spected country doctor at that
time. He owned extensive proper-
ty locally. On the farm now own-
ed by Graham Kerr, he kept many
valuable rage horses. One in par--.
ticular was Florence G. Being of
humble parentage (her mother was
an Indian pony), it was her beau-
tiful
eautiful chestnut colour that induced
the doctor to buy her as a yearling
for $5. At three years of age she
was racing in an the big cities. She
was unbeatable.
The annual event of, importance
to Seaforth and , community was
the Fall Fair. There was no 4-1I
Club then to encourage the chll-
dren to the great work they are
doing now. However, everyone
turned out that day—rain or shine.
There were beautiful herds of cat-
tle, mostly Durhams. It was a
rare sight to see a Jersey, and, of
course, the Holsteins had not yet
invaded Huron County from the
east.
As you might expect, in those
days, as now, the races afforded
a great attraction for all. The
young men of the district care-
fully trained- their favorite driver
for the fall meetMg As most peo-
ple were busy all day, the speed-
ing up process had to be done at
night. It took careful driving in
those days to"'stear through a
flock of sheep sleeping peacefully
on the gravel road, or avoid a
herd of cows crossing toa neigh-
bor's turnip -patch. Wllen the great
day came and the farmers' trot
was announced,, everyone rushed
to cheer their favorite. -
Generally, a special purse was
offered for trained horses. This
event was known as the Free -For -
On this particular day there was
only one entry. in the.•Free-For-All.
That was Dr. Coleman's famous
Florence G. No one was willing
to risk a contest It looked for a
while -as if it was just an exhibi-
tion mile. My uncle, Bill Fowler,
a well-known cattle buyer, who
needed a very quiet and also a
very fast horse for herding his
cattle along the road, had picked
an old track horse in Montreal. He
was as homely as could be, with a
rat tail. When asked to show any
speed, this stub tall would stick
straight up and away he would go.
Just for a joke they coaxed Bill
to enter him against Flerenee G.
Someone brought a longs false tail
and fastened it to the 'stub, and
Bill with old Farmerlined up be-
side the doctor's racer. The crowd
were dumbfounded to see Bill in
his old buckboard facing the doc-
tor's hired trainer in a new up-to-
date racing sulky. What a pity,
they all said, to see anyone even
try to compete with Florence G.
They lined up and at the word
"Go” they were off. Half way
around, the doctor's racer was far
in front, and in fact she won quite
easily. ' Some of Bill's friends
coaxed hint to not go in the sec-
ond heat., Those who knew horses
real well said there was a queer
look in old Farmer's eye:
So the second heat began, and
with all the urging The trainer
could do, Florence G. could not
get away from the steady 'rattle
of that old buckboard and Farm-
er's -"old legs were getting more
supple every moment. When they

course, made a tie. Mrs, colenlan

and wiped the sweat off her pet's
nose and patted her neck in sym-k

the stub of a whip' and Farmer
started to nibble the nearest tufts
of grass.
Then came the final and deriding
beat. Farmer took .the lead and
kept it all the way, but even in
those days accidents did happen

and Fanner took wings, but to
and behold you, the strings -came
loose and the long bushy false tall
fell off, the stub tall stuck straight
up as he sailed to victory, to the
great amusement of the crowd.
Dr. Coleman and Mrs. Coleman
laughed heartily as they congratu-
lated Uncle Bill, and many people

old Fair Grounds.

You can't farm profitably today
by using yesterday's methods and'
obsolete machinery, They simply
don't meet the demands of modern
farming .'.. high productivity and
low production costs.
oa The profit potential of your farm
can only be fully realized through
utilizing modern methods and the
%.„4.b latest farm machinery. Today's
farm machinery measures up to
the task of doing more work faster
and more efficiently. Farm labour,
a major cost in the operation of
an farm is kept to a bare '

increased. Critical farm operations
get done at• exactly the right
